Arena Cross Country

• More dates coming soon

  Modern cross country courses are no longer just about jumping big, scary fences but are increasingly becoming more technical. The idea behind these sessions is to recreate the technical aspects in an arena environment so that we can break down the problems into stages.

  These sessions will include fences on angles, narrow fences, corners and related distances and a step by step approach on how to tackle them, from walking the course to riding them.

  All levels welcome and will be grouped according to experience. Max 4 to a group. £20/person

  Closing date 7 days before clinic.

  A wait list will be held.
